Alpha at St.Peter's     

Ever wondered what it's all about?
Over 2 million people in the UK and 11 million worldwide have now attended an Alpha course, an opportunity to explore the meaning of life, running in tens of thousands of churches of all denominations across the world.

Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions, with one weekend day away. Many guests have never been to church, others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith. Others are just curious and decide to come along.

“Alpha is a 'try-it-and-see-it'. No one forces you to go. If it isn't for you, then you simply don't turn up”. (Bob Diamond, newspaper reporter).

 

“The beauty of the course is that people are invited to disagree with everything they hear if they so wish.” (Howard Long, Methodist Minister)

 

“I feel 100 per cent comfortable recommending it as I know no-one is ever judged or bible-bashed! People tend to work through their own stuff and at least by the end you can make an informed decision for or against faith. The Alpha course is super laid back and its fun. I think the only thing I'd say is that you don't have to impress anyone. You can be yourself and honest.” (Bear Grylls, Born Survivor, Channel 4 and ex SAS).

 

How much does it cost?

The course is free, though you may be invited to contribute food or help towards the cost of food if you are able.
